Sad Kids Today the kids asked when we were going home. We told them. They cried. We cried. We’re leaving on Sunday, stopping in Camden on the way to visit Pam Allen (IK Editor – I need to drop off a scarf and I’d really like to meet her in person) and just to look…

I knit weird and I enjoy showing others how to find the joy and intuitiveness within their OWN knitting!
We don't knit to make THINGS, we knit to make OURSELVES HAPPY!
Dawn at Brewer Lake Woke up at 5:00 – made coffee – sat in the hammock and watched the sky turn from indigo to light blue to white under the heavy cover of clouds and light rain. Beautiful. Burn, baby, burn!
Another few yarn shops We really didn’t set out today to visit yarn shops – really! I can thank my sharp eyed and every patient husband for my yarn shop visits today! I knew there was a yarn shop in Bangor, but since I didn’t have my contact disk and – oddly – couldn’t find…
Rain? Who cares! Yes – I’m taking a break from the vacation in heaven to write a big on the blog! It’s really foggy and rainy on the coast but it tends to be a little less foggy inland, which is where we are (lucky us!) So – even though the weather forecast for the…
Gone Knittin’ We’re off tomorrow morning – I’m packing even as I write (quite a feat) and I’m SO excited to just sit, veg, read, knit, well – you know… We probably won’t have internet access unless we happen past a cybercafe or something, so until next Sunday the blog is on vacation!

Why was the hooker hanging around our front yard today..? She heard a couple of guys were going to lay a stone patio and wanted to see how they’d do it Yes, it’s down. It was a comedy of errors, though, I must say… Monday I went to Maplewood Nursery on Springfield and ordered a…
Pergola – Step 1 Finally. For years I’ve wanted a pergola in front of the house. Well, I can’t say that we’re putting one in anytime soon, but we’re moving ahead to step 1 of the grand master plan! The stone ‘patio’ porch in front of the house will be laid tomorrow. I’ve bought a…
Injured List I pulled something in my shoulder. I think it was from carrying around a few heavy bags at the same time, with a kid in the same arm and another holding my ‘free’ hand. It’s been aching for about a day – I feel like that old Anacin(?) ad where the woman tries…
Preparing The week of preparation for the trip is starting! First mapping the route – from South Orange to Stamford (to visit Knit Together, a new shop that’s opened there) then on to Cambridge (to visit the Cambridge Artists Coop to see my bracelets) and on north of Boston to stay overnight. The next day…
